Brainstorm App for Neighborhood Robots

As part of the UX Studio programme at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences, a mixed team of students worked on an app to support the brainstorming phase of Wijkbot workshops.

Starting a new neighborhood robot from a blank canvas is not easy for everyone. To provide a first step, we asked students to create a brainstorm app drawing on a rich database of previously built robots, combined with the power of generative AI.

The team — Lisanne Bouwman, Mark van den Broek, Mike Degrassi, and Paul Tolnor — created a playful app that stores existing neighborhood robots and breaks them down into archetypal elements which then feed the generator.
